About E-TTL II Autoflash

E-TTL II is a new autoflash exposure system incorporating improved flash exposure control and lens focusing distance information, making it more precise than the previous E-TTL (evaluative flash metering with preflash) system.

The camera can execute E-TTL II autoflash with any EX-series Speedlite.

• Before attaching an external Speedlite, retract the built-in flash.

If you use a flash unit (with multiple contacts) dedicated to another camera brand or a high-voltage flash, the camera may not work properly or malfunction may result.

• If focus is difficult to achieve, the EOS-dedicated Speedlite (one with a built- in AF-assist light) will automatically emit the AF-assist light (except in <I> <P> modes).

With regard to EOS-dedicated Speedlites, this is a Type A camera (compatible with E-TTL II autoflash).
